·Borrow the time when you need it…flexible
vacation time, flexible working location

·Steal the best ideas from others

If you implement office perks, you receive from your
employees:

·Thanks

·Trust

·Retention!

If you do not act on employee requests, you will lose that
trust.

Ideas to borrow or steal:

·The hour of awesomeness: an all-hands session
where people talk 2-8 min on anything or demonstrate something they are
passionate about.

·Ways to help to release the pressure: camp
retreat to hang out, day off in the office to play video games and music, take
a week to work anywhere, chef cooks breakfast, Tuesday night hack night, Fantastic
Friday, Offsite team building.

·Desks on wheels, free lunches, family lunch, hack
weeks, Beer and Brains on a Friday afternoon for people to brainstorm various
ideas over beers and food.

·Sabbaticals for employees who have been there a
certain amount of time. Some companies ask that you do a pet project/hack month
or education.

·Flying remote team members into the office is
well worth the expense.
